Our Mission
The LSIE fosters information exchange among the UT System libraries in order to:
- support staff on how to best meet users' online needs, and to
- envision new initiatives that mutually benefit UT System students, faculty and staff.
Any UT library staff member can be part of the LSIE discussions, e-mail list, and attend the videoconferences. A formal membership list is not maintained.
LSIE E-Mail List
All members of the old OFFCAMP e-mail list will be migrated to the new LSIE e-mail list.

Steering Committee
